Sevilla FC
Sevilla has confirmed Diego Alonso as their new head coach on a contract until the end of the 2023-24 La Liga campaign. Alonso replaces Jose Luis Mendilibar, who was relieved earlier this month. Despite an underwhelming start to the campaign, Sevilla has managed to remain unbeaten in their Champions League. They drew their first two games with Lens and PSV Eindhoven. The team finished down in 12th position in La Liga last term. Now, they face two back-to-back matches against Real Madrid and Arsenal in the league and Champions League, respectively. Sevilla’s last league win over Real Madrid came in September 2018, and the team has lost eight of the last nine top-flight meetings between the two sides.
Marko Dmitrovic, Mariano Diaz, Erik Lamela, and Alfonso Pastor are still unavailable here due to their fitness issues. Fortunately, Marcao, and Tanguy Nianzou are both returning here from their injuries, despite being unlikely to be selected here. Meanwhile, Fernardo is a doubt in this match, after being withdrawn in the first half of their match against Rayo.
